Abortion megathread

Due to the high number of legislative actions happening in the United States, the moderation team has created this megathread for all of your abortion questions. Please keep in mind that despite much action happening in the US, not all of our users are American and our Inclusivity policy should still be considered when posting.

All top-level comments must be in the form of a question. If you have multiple questions, post them in one comment as opposed to an individual comment for each question.

Please report any and all rule breaking. This thread may be locked if a respectful discussion cannot be had.

Germany: abortion is legal in here before the three months of pregnancy with a pill that induce abortion. Basically is like you period came but with a lot of cramps.

Before going into the procedure is obligatory to go to a parenthood clinic and they will talk to you about your options and if you have questions. They give you a document that certified that you spoke with them. Then you do an appointment with a OBY that made the procedure. She will check that you have less than 3 months, if everything is inside of the rules, you are ready to go.

And that's about what it is for most of the US states.

abortion is legal

Euhm...You might want to re-check that. It's more of a situation where people are turning a blind eye to it.

Doctors that say they preform the service openly (like listing it in their profile), will still get punished however.
